It's the journey ... not the destination. ... The journey ... my eyes were opened and I knew Him and my heart was changed. ...
Won't you join me in my travels, meandering here and there, journeying within my mind and beyond, on paths great and small, through this world that was created by and belongs to the Lord God Almighty.

Bandit Bunny Boy

2013

Bandit "Bandy Andy Bear" Bunny Boy came to live with us Sept. 23, 2013, at 4 months of age. He was born in May in Center Point, Iowa, at the same place his older brother, BeeJay was born. We decided to celebrate his birthday on May 28. His coloring is Broken Black -- he has black ears and two black eyes ... he looks just like a bandit, hence his name. He likes to be petted, but not held for very long periods. He reminds me of my "obstreperous" cat, Tunie. He is our third and current Netherland Dwarf bunny.

A witness

Joshua 24:26-27

"Then Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. And he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. And Joshua said to all the people, 'Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God."

Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life

"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world."
(1 John 4:1-3)

This nativity, on display at Armstrong's Department Store, downtown Cedar Rapids, from 1959-1990, and then at Smulekoff's from 1991-2008,was restored to its former glory following heavy damage sustained in the 2008 flood.

The Heart of Christmas

(Reaches around the world every day)

The heart of Christmas islove-the love Jesus gives us to share with others ... the love that makes each of us special to Him.

The heart of Christmas isjoy -the joy we receive through His grace ...the expectant joy that carries us into a new year.

The heart of Christmas is peace -the peace that comes from knowing Jesus ...the assurance that comes from placing our lives in His hands.
